It was getting late, and when he learned that Chen Mo and the others had no place to rest, Qiao Cheng suggested that the three of them go to the hotel where he had been staying recently to rest, and bluntly said that the hotel owner did not reject elves.

To be honest, Chen Mo was still a little unconvinced at first. After all, most of the passers-by he met during this period were not very friendly to elves.

But it wasn't until he arrived at the hotel called 'Haoju Inn' that Chen Mo realized that what Qiao Cheng said was absolutely correct.

"Warcraft? It's harmful. It doesn't matter what happens to that kind of thing. Xiao Qiao is the only one living in our store right now. If you don't want to be disturbed, just bring your Warcraft and move in."

The owner of the hotel is a very interesting man. He is tall and has a big beard. His personality is as bold as his appearance.

When he learned that Chen Mo and his party came to stay at the hotel with elves, the boss not only did not feel scared, but also marveled, saying that he had never seen such an interesting person like Chen Mo who dared to tame a monster.

When he was happy, and because of Qiao Cheng and Ah Hui's reasons, he waved his hand and offered some discounts to Chen Mo and others.

But Chen Mo thought that life in the hotel must be difficult now, so he quickly stopped this extremely generous man.

"He's... so enthusiastic!"

Ah Hui sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Just when the bearded boss started to check in Chen Mo and the others, a childish voice suddenly came from behind Chen Mo and the others.

"dad…"

Although they knew it was definitely not them who shouted, Chen Mo and others still subconsciously turned their heads and looked over.

I saw a cute little girl with short hair, about ten years old, wearing blue pajamas, standing in the staircase aisle, looking timidly at Chen Mo and others.

After hearing the word "Dad", the bearded boss immediately put down his work, crossed the counter and Chen Mo and others, quickly came to the little girl's side, picked up the little girl and asked lovingly.

"Baby, why did you come down suddenly?"

"Dad, I can't sleep, I want to hear you tell stories..."

"Okay, then you wait for Dad for three minutes. Dad will come and tell you a story after finishing the housing procedures for these three brothers."

"Um."

The hotel owner put the little girl down, and then gently rubbed his beard on the little girl's face, making the little girl laugh.

"That child's name is Xiaoyou."

Qiao Cheng, who had been staying in the hotel for a long time, looked at the bearded boss who threw away the key and took the little girl upstairs, and said softly.

"He is a very cute and pitiful kid."

"Um?"

Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Qiao Cheng.

Qiao Cheng sighed softly.

"Xiaoyou's mother died of illness not long after giving birth to Xiaoyou due to physical reasons. Xiaoyou's health has not been very good, maybe due to genetic reasons, and she often gets sick. I live here alone.

During this period, I saw her catching cold three times, one of which was a severe high fever."

"Is this so..."

Hearing Qiao Cheng's words, Chen Mo and others couldn't help but feel pity for the cute little girl with short hair.

Just as the four of them were about to go upstairs to rest, as soon as they reached the corner of the second floor, the door to the farthest room suddenly opened, and the bearded boss walked out.

"If anything happens at night, you can just come to this room to find me, or you can make a phone call. Xiao Qiao knows my phone number, so don't be embarrassed. After all, you all know that there have been a lot of strange things happening recently, so you should be careful in everything.

For good."

Just after finishing the simple sentence, Chen Mo and others heard another little girl's call from the open room. Hearing the sound, the bearded man didn't even close the door, so he hurriedly responded, then turned around and walked quickly towards the house.

passed.

Chen Mo and others standing in the corridor looked at me and I looked at you. Except for Brother Yi, they all showed smiles.

"To be honest with you, I have always felt that my boss is a daughter-in-law."

Qiao Cheng said with a smile.

Ah Fai shrugged.

"It's normal. After all, if I had such a cute daughter, then I would also be a daughter-in-law."

The group of people were talking and laughing as they headed upstairs.

However, no one noticed that beside them, there was a sudden "crunching" sound of the door closing.

Only Pichu, who stayed on Chen Mo's shoulder and was not interested in the topics of Chen Mo and others, twitched his ears slightly. Hearing the sound, he looked back curiously.

Then, it saw it.

In the crack of the door that was slowly closing, an unknown creature covered in black material was floating in the air, holding the door handle, and seemed to be closing the door.

"Pichu?"

Perhaps noticing Pichu's gaze, the thing actually turned its head slightly, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes.

It stared at Piqiu, its black skin seemed to be filled with endless resentment.

"Pipichu!"

The frightened Pichu yelled and grabbed Chen Mo's neck tightly.

"What's wrong? Pichu?"

Chen Mo looked at Piqiu, whose body was trembling slightly, with some confusion on his expression.

"Pichu! Pichu Pichu!"

Listening to Piqiu's description, Chen Mo frowned slightly.

Ah Hui on the side said doubtfully.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Mo said softly: "Pichu said it saw something terrible."

Taking Pichu back two steps, Chen Mo and others once again saw the dark corridor and the door that the bearded boss had not closed.

"There's nothing."

Qiao Cheng glanced around and said doubtfully.

"Pichu?"

Pichu tilted his head, his expression obviously full of doubts and confusion.

It clearly saw that terrifying creature with a pair of scarlet eyes just now.

but why…

In the blink of an eye, nothing could be seen, only the warm light flowing out from the half-open door.

"Pichu...?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo walked towards the door.

As soon as I got close.

The tall figure of the bearded boss appeared in front of the door again. He looked at Chen Mo outside, as well as Ah Hui and others who followed him, and wondered.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just saw that your room door was not closed, and I wanted to come over and close it for you."

Chen Mo smiled slightly.

The bearded boss suddenly understood, and then showed a rare embarrassed expression on his face.

"Ah hahahaha, that's how I am. Xiaoyou always says that I'm careless. Thank you for your kindness. It's already very late now. Let's go back and rest early. Don't forget what I just said."

The door is closed.

The trio headed by Ah Hui all looked at Chen Mo.

Half a moment.

Chen Mo sighed lightly.
